GL: Translated by George Lyons ©2005, Nazarene Publishing House 3 Series Foreword A Vision for Christian Ministry: Clergy Education in the Church of the Nazarene The chief purpose of all persons—indeed, all of the creation—is to worship, love, and serve God. God has made himself known in His deeds of creation and redemption. As the Redeemer, God has called into existence a people, the Church, who embody, celebrate, and declare His name and His ways. The life of God with His people and the world constitutes the Story of God. That story is recorded principally in the Old and New Testaments, and continues to be told by the resurrected Christ who lives and reigns as Head of His Church. The Church lives to declare the whole Story of God. This it does in many ways—in the lives of its members who are even now being transformed by Christ, through preaching, the sacraments, in oral testimony, and in mission. All members of the Body of Christ are called to exercise a ministry of witness and service. No one is excluded. In God’s own wisdom He calls some persons to fulfill the ministry of proclaiming the gospel and caring for God’s people in a form that is referred to as the ordained ministry. God is the initial actor in this call, not humans. In the Church of the Nazarene we believe that God calls and that persons respond. They do not elect the Christian ministry. All persons whom God calls to the ordained ministry continue to be amazed that He would call them. They should continue to be humbled and amazed by God’s call. The Manual of the Church of the Nazarene states, “we recognize and hold that the Head of the Church calls some men and women to the more official and public work of the ministry.” It adds, “The church, illuminated by the Holy Spirit, will recognize the Lord’s call” (Manual, Church of the Nazarene, paragraph 400). An ordained Christian minister has as his or her chief responsibility to declare in many ways the whole Story of God as fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth. His or her charge is to “tend the flock of God. not by constraint but willingly, not for shameful gain but eagerly, not as domineering over those in their charge but being examples to the flock” (1 Pet 5:2-3, RSV). The minister fulfills this charge under the supervision of Christ, the chief Shepherd (1 Pet 5:4). Such ministry can be fulfilled only after a period of careful preparation. Indeed, given the ever-changing demands placed upon the minister, “preparation” never ceases. A person who enters the Christian ministry becomes in a distinct sense a steward of the gospel of God (Titus 1:7, RSV). A steward is one who is entrusted to care for what belongs to another. A steward may be one who takes care of another person or who manages the property of someone else. All Christians are stewards of the grace of God. But in addition, in a peculiar sense a Christian minister is a steward of the “mystery of God,” which is Christ, the Redeemer, the Messiah of God. In all faithfulness, the minister is called to “make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel” (Eph 6:19, NRSV). Like Paul, he or she must faithfully preach “the boundless riches of Christ, and to make everyone see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things; so that through the church the wisdom of God in its rich variety might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places” (Eph 3:8-10, NRSV). In fulfilling this commission, there is plenty of room for diligence and alertness, but no room for laziness or privilege (Titus 1:5-9). Good stewards recognize that they are ©2005, Nazarene Publishing House 4 stewards only, not the owners, and that they will give an account of their stewardship to the master. Faithfulness to one’s charge and to the Lord who issued it is the steward’s principal passion. When properly understood, the Christian ministry should never be thought of as a “job.” It is ministry—uniquely Christian ministry. No higher responsibility or joy can be known than to become a steward of the Story of God in Christ’s Church. The person who embraces God’s call to the ordained ministry will stand in the company of the Apostles, the Early Fathers of the Church, the Reformers of the Middle Ages, the Protestant Reformers, and many persons around the world today who joyfully serve as stewards of the gospel of God. Obviously, one who does not recognize, or who understands but rejects, just how complete and inclusive a minister’s stewardship must be should not start down the path that leads to ordination. In a peculiar sense, a Christian minister must in all respects model the gospel of God.

    “The Paraclete” John 14:15-17, 25-27, 15:26-27 16:6-11 August 2, 2020 Faith Presbyterian Church – Morning Service Pastor Nicoletti THE READING OF THE WORD: We return again this morning to the Gospel of John, where we are still in the midst of Jesus’s final discourse with his disciples before his arrest and crucifixion. My original text at the beginning of this week was chapter fourteen, verses fifteen through seventeen. But as I dug into those verses, I eventually decided I needed to add other portions of Jesus’s discourse here in John fourteen through sixteen, to help us make sense of these verses. Our time this morning will largely focus on one Greek word: parakletos, often transliterated into English as paraclete. Because that word is the focus, I have included all four times that John uses the word in his gospel, all of which occur in this discourse and refer to the Holy Spirit. And so this morning we will hear from John chapter fourteen verses fifteen through seventeen, chapter fourteen verses twenty-five through twenty-seven, chapter fifteen verses twenty-six and twenty-seven, and then chapter sixteen verses six through eleven. Since our focus will be on the meaning of the word parakletos, and since the ESV itself, with its footnote, offers three possible translations, I will do what many others have and simply use the transliteration of the word when we come to it: Paraclete. With all that in mind, please do listen carefully, for this is God’s word for us this morning.

They will be preparing to receive three sacraments: reconciliation, confirmation and virst Eucharist. Reconciliation is the sacrament of God’s mercy. Confirmation is a deeper knowledge of God’s love through the Holy Spirit, and through the Holy Eucharist, your child will grow in grace and holiness as he/she enters into a loving union with Him. Because Jesus desires a greater intimacy with us, He invites us to return to Him by receiving Eucharist as often as possible. As parents, you have the right and privilege to be the primary educators of your children in the faith. This gift of faith is what you asked for your child when you brought him/her to the sacrament of baptism and promised to raise your child in the faith. Your participation and example is especially important as your child prepares to receive reconciliation, confirmation and first Eucharist. The reception of these three sacraments is not the end of your child’s formation in the faith but, rather, the beginning of his/her walk of faith.
  • Ascension - 2020

    Ascension - 2020

    ASCENSION - 2020 We celebrate today, not only the Ascension of our Lord, but we are also celebrating what we hope is the beginning of a return to Mass being offered in our church with more of you, the faithful, in attendance. And so, today is a sign of hope … hope for the full participation of everyone gathered together again around the banquet table of the Eucharist. Our Lord's Ascension into heaven is also a sign of hope: the hope of our following where Jesus Christ has gone before us. And in the meantime … this period when the Church looks forward to the return of her Lord, we have the hope of constant union him through the gift of the Holy Spirit. As we heard in the Acts of the Apostles, Jesus tells the Eleven: "wait for the promise of the Father … you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." On Tuesday this past week, we read from the Gospel according to John where Jesus prepares the disciples for his Ascension by saying: "It is better for you that I go. For, if I do not go, the Paraclete will never come to you. If I go, I will send the Paraclete to you." As we know, the Paraclete is the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. It is the Holy Spirit who transforms us into the Body of Christ. In the Ascension Jesus returns to the Father so that the Father and the Son might be present to us and with us and within us in a new way.

    People of God Think About God Knowing the Unknowable God

    PEOPLE OF GOD THINK ABOUT GOD KNOWING THE UNKNOWABLE GOD JOHN 13-17 April 15, 2020 God became known in a unique and definitive way through Jesus Christ. In our studies we do not attempt to relate Jesus to our idea of God. Instead we start with Christ and discover what he shows us about God. Jesus Christ is the ultimate revelation of God in human form. Resurrection of Jesus reversed the judgment of the cross. Cross and the resurrection give lasting meaning to Jesus’ teachings and deeds. Understanding of the Bible (Luther) Bible was of paramount importance and in it he found an answer to his quest for salvation. In its primary sense the Word of God is none other than God himself (John 1). In the Bible when God speaks we are not simply given information. God also acts and God does something in us and in all of creation. That creative and powerful Word is incarnate in Jesus Christ. Jesus is God’s greatest revelation and God’s greatest action. In Jesus, God is revealed to us. In Jesus, God overcame the powers of evil that had us in subjection. Revelation of God is also his victory. What makes the Bible the Word of God is not that it is infallible or the source of authority. Bible is the Word of God because in it, Jesus (the Word incarnate) comes to us. Anyone who reads the Bible should find Jesus throughout. It is the one of the reasons (for example) that Luther called the Letter of James pure straw.

    6-15 TIM's THOUGHTS Paraclete.Pages

    TIM’S THOUGHTS PARACLETE We need help. Seriously. We all need lots of help. Following Jesus is impossible for us. At the end of John 15:5 Jesus said it best: “Without me you are unable to do anything”.* The good news is that we are not expected to. The key to following Jesus is relying on His help. The beginning of the same verse says “If you stay in me and I stay in you then you’ll be incredibly effective disciples”.* We need help and Jesus promised to be that help. Yet how can that work without him here beside us? His crucifixion, resurrection and ascension places Him in heaven and no longer physically next to us. So how is Jesus going to help us now? How can this long-distance relationship provide the enormous amount of help we need every day? That is the uncertain and uncomfortable predicament the disciples faced in this very passage. They were mere hours from Calvary. In one weekend they would lose their jobs, meaning, purpose and everyday routine. The cross meant losing their teacher, guide, support system and friend. Good Friday must have felt like someone tore the umbilical cord to God right out of their hearts. This was a monumental change. Jesus loved his disciples way too much to abandon them. So He made sure they were prepared. Jesus promised to send them help that would never leave. “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth.

    Introduction to Christian Ethics

    Biblical Ethics ETHC 6301 Academic Workshop: May 25-29, 2015 New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary Division of Theological and Historical Studies Dr. Jeffrey Riley Office: Dodd 107 Professor of Ethics (504) 816-8017 Chairman, Theological & Historical Studies Division E-mail: [email protected] 3939 Gentilly Blvd, Box 160; New Orleans, LA 70126 Grader: Mission Statement The mission of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary is to equip leaders to fulfill the Great Commission and Great Commandments through the local church and its mission. Core Value Focus Biblical ethics seeks to integrate doctrinal integrity with spiritual vitality as the student understands, submits to, and exercises a moral life that is built upon Scripture. Spiritual Vitality is the core value focus for NOBTS during the 2014-15 academic year. Course Description The ethics of the Old Testament, intertestamental period, and New Testament, in the light of their historical context, are the major areas of consideration. Their relevance to contemporary Christian living forms a necessary corollary. Attention will be given to tools for applying biblical ethics such as exegetical studies. Student Learning Outcomes As part of the larger Seminary goal of equipping effective leaders for healthy churches, and given the key competencies of doctrinal integrity and spiritual vitality, the following objectives of this course are for the successful student: 2 • to achieve competency in spiritual and character development by standing under the judgment and guidance of Scripture. • to have a stronger commitment to a moral life shaped by Scripture. • to have a stronger commitment to voicing biblical values in ministry and in the community.

    start page: 241 Stellenbosch Theological Journal 2016, Vol 2, No 1, 241–259 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17570/stj.2016.v2n1.a12 Online ISSN 2413-9467 | Print ISSN 2413-9459 2016 © Pieter de Waal Neethling Trust Old Testament stories and Christian ethics: Some perspectives from the narrative of Judah and Tamar Meyer, Esias University of Pretoria [email protected] Pietersen, Leonore University of Pretoria [email protected] Abstract The relationship between Old Testament narrative and Christian ethics is challenging. When it comes to finding ethical guideline Old Testament narratives are unresponsive. This is particularly the case with a narrative such as Genesis 38. Biblical scholars have written extensively on how the text can be interpreted. In this article we look at the various ways scholars in Biblical criticism have tried to make sense of the text. We show that narratives can function as a platform for dialogue to mirror the intricacies of life. We do not attempt to resolve the tension between the story and ethics, but rather aim to consider biblical criticism as a tool which stimulates ethical debate. Keywords Judah, Tamar, Old Testament stories, Christian ethics 1. Introduction In John Barton’s recent book Ethics in Ancient Israel he reminds us that ‘Old Testament narrative is well known to be sometimes reticent in drawing moral conclusions from the stories it presents’ (2014:171). This unresponsiveness of Old Testament narratives has been a problem for biblical critics and Christian ethicists alike and the story of Judah and Tamar in Genesis 38 is a case in point, although one wonders whether this story is really so ‘reticent’.
